Universe Four is called the "Scheming Universe". Their rank at the beginning of the Tournament of Power is No. 9 out of 12.[1] The universe is ruled by the Kaiōshin Kur, the God of Destruction Quitela, and his attendant Angel Conic.
Inhabitants
Divine Beings
 |
Kur (クル)
Kur is haughty and mindful of his position as a god.[3] He speaks with the old-fashioned expression ~Ojaru (an archaic, honorific form of "to be").[4] Kur's name pun is unknown, but many Kaiōshin appear to have been named after deities, and Kur (クル Kuru)—an underworld dragon in Sumerian mythology who stole a goddess and carried her away to the nether world—is a likely source for his name.[5] |
 |
Quitela (キテラ)
Quitela is a God of Destruction who enjoys destroying on a whim. He specializes in cowardly tricks, such as sending spies to other universes.[4] Quitela's name is adapted from the transliteration of tequila (テキーラ tekiira), a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant specific to Jalisco, Mexico. Quitela's name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[5] |
 |
Conic (コニック)
Talented and insightful, Conic is like a watchdog for Universe 4.[6] His name is likely derived from "cognac" (コニャック konyakku), a variety of brandy named after the town of Cognac, France. This name pun follows the theme of Gods of Destruction and Angels being named after alcoholic beverages.[5] |
Warriors
The warriors of Universe 4 are all named after herbs and spices.[5]
 |
Ganos (ガノス)
Ganos is a warrior who has the ability to get stronger the more he fights. In the Tournament of Power, he was launched out of the ring by the Turtle Hermit's Bankoku-Bikkuri-Shō.[4] Ganos's name is likely derived from Oregano (マリナーラ), a cooking herb commonly found in western and southwestern Eurasia and the Mediterranean region. |
 |
Caway (キャウェイ)
Caway is able to refine ki into the shape of a weapon. She closed in on the Turtle Hermit using her specialty seductive techniques, but then fled the ring in terror.[4] Caway's name is likely derived from Caraway (キャラウェイ), a pungent spice often used to flavor breads, especially rye bread. |
 |
Dercori (ダーコリ)
Dercori paralyzes her opponents by sewing up their shadows with her magic talismans. In the Tournament of Power, she was sealed by the Turtle Hermit's Mafūba and defeated.[4] Dercori's name is likely derived from Coriander (コリアンダー), an annual herb also known as "cilantro" or "Chinese parsley", commonly used in cooking. |
 |
Shosa (ショウサ)
In the Tournament of Power, Shosa caught No. 18 off-guard with his specialty 'playing possum' technique, but then lost when No. 18 and Kuririn pushed him from the ring with their combo attack.[4] Shosa's name is likely derived from Zanthoxylum piperitum (山椒), a standard spice in Japan, known elsewhere as "Japanese pepper". It is most commonly used to flavor broiled eel dishes. |
 |
Monna (モンナ)
Monna is a female warrior who weaponizes her own body by enlarging it and curling up like a ball.[7] Monna's name is likely derived from cinnamon. |
 |
Nink (ニンク)
In the Tournament of Power, Nink grabbed Goku from behind and tried to take them both out of the ring, but was sent flying out of the ring by Goku's ki.[4] Nink's name is likely derived from Garlic (大蒜). Closely related to the onion, garlic is used as a common food flavoring ingredient worldwide. As with many organic/biological terms in Japan, garlic is typically written in katakana as ニンニク (nin’niku). |
 |
Majora (マジョラ)
Majora compensates for his lost eyesight with a keen sense of smell. In the Tournament of Power, Kuririn stuns him with the stench of his socks and blows him out of the ring with a Kamehameha.[4] Majora's name is likely derived from Marjoram (マジョラム), a perennial herb with sweet pine and citrus flavors. |
 |
Shantsa (シャンツァ)
Shantsa is a warrior with the power to manipulate illusions. Has a tic of ending sentences with "-tsa." Shantsa's name is likely derived from Coriander (シャンツァイ), an annual herb also known as "cilantro" or "Chinese parsley", commonly used in cooking. The character name is taken directly from the katakana used to write shantsai, the Japanese approximation of the Chinese word for "coriander", 香菜 (xiāngcài). |
 |
Damon (ダモン)
Damon is a bug person who represents Universe 4 in the Tournament of Power. Damon's name is likely based on Cardamom (カルダモン), a spice made from the seeds of the tropical Asian plant, Elettaria cardamomum, of the ginger family. The spice is sometimes spelled "cardamon". |
 |
Gamisalas (ガミサラス)
Gamisalas is an invisible person representing Universe 4 in the Tournament of Power. Gamisalas's name is likely based on Garam Masala (ガラムマサラ), a blend of toasted, ground spices common in Indian cuisines. |
